The Tiniest Thing?
What is the tiniest thing worth? Will you know it when you see it? Will you know how much it might mean to someone else? The tiniest thing could be a kind gestureโฆ it only takes a second, but can change everything. It could be a few notes hummed, that touches someoneโs heart. I could be a lucky penny left behind that brightens someoneโs day.

Pixelated Blindness
I see people through the pattern recognition of bodily movement, posture, and facial movement but not through facial features. It can take a long time for me to remember someoneโs name and though I may see them every day, some things just do not stick.

The Shy Dog
There was a shy dog who once ran fast through open fields. He barked at birds, chased the wind, and feared nothing. But life changed. Some people shouted at him. Some threw stones. Some pushed him away when all he wanted was care. Slowly, the happy dog became quiet. Now, he sits near old fences, watching people pass. He hides when footsteps come close, as if kindness is something he no longer understands. His bark is still inside him, but fear keeps it locked away. At night, he looks at the moon like an old friend who still remembers him. Maybe healing is not loud. Maybe it comes slowly, like small steps in soft sand. And maybe, one day, the shy dog will bark again and remember who he used to be.
